Ring selfies via Lady Gaga and about 50 of our friends have filled our Facebook feeds in the past weeks, which means the wedding invites are about to start pouring in. We rounded up the best looks to wear to every kind of wedding, below.

Rustic Wedding



Open back coral print silk chiffon gown, Valentino ($7,990); Isabella laser-cut leather calf hair clutch bag in pearl, Marchesa ($2,795); Chandelier Swarovski crystal thong sandal, Rene Caovilla ($1,285). neimanmarcus.com

Whether at a barn, country farmhouse, or cottage, a rustic wedding allows you to wear the most romantic pieces you can find. For an extremely dreamy ensemble, choose this Valentino maxi gown with coral prints, a dazzling sandal, and a charming lace clutch.

Destination Wedding



Dreamcatcher-print silk balloon-sleeved dress, Etro ($4,065); Scarab finger-clutch bag, Valentino ($1,595); Chaos metallic stiletto sandal in gold, Manolo Blahnik ($725). Bergdorf Goodman, 754 Fifth Ave., 800-558-1855

Destination weddings necessitate a breezy number, like this colorful printed dress, metallic sandals, and fringe clutch.

White-Tie Wedding



Ruffled one-shoulder crepe gown, Lanvin ($5,845); Candy glittered acrylic and leather clutch, Jimmy Choo ($775); Perspex-heeled metallic leather sandals, Gianvito Rossi ($1,095). netaporter.com

Considered the most formal of all wedding dress codes, the white-tie affair calls for evening gowns and tons of sparkles. We suggest this one-shoulder Lanvin gown, Jimmy Choo box clutch, and Cinderella-esque heels from Gianvito Rossi.

Black-Tie Wedding

Silk and cotton floral dress, Oscar de la Renta ($2,190); Crystal-embellished minaudière, Judith Leiber ($1,995); Glittered leather d'Orsay pumps, Christian Louboutin ($675). Saks Fifth Avenue, 611 Fifth Ave., 212-753-4000

When invited to a black-tie event, go for a flurry of metallics and florals. We suggest this Oscar de la Renta flared dress, Christian Louboutin pumps, and a Judith Leiber minaudière.

Laid-Back Wedding

Crepe sleeveless dress, Narciso Rodriguez ($1,995); Arc clutch, Nina Ricci ($1,250); Slingback glove sandals, Givenchy ($770). Barneys New York, 660 Madison Ave., 212-833-2200

For a more casual wedding dress code, consider an easy outfit with nude accessories. This Narciso Rodriguez pastel frock will let you dance freely, while the block-heeled Givenchy peep toes offer both comfort and style.

Church Wedding

Buttercup open-back silk-faille dress, Rosie Assoulin ($3,495). Pandora printed perspex clutch, Charlotte Olympia ($1,395). Hello lover cord-trimmed suede pumps, Aquazurra ($765). modaoperandi.com

If you're going to church, dress in a more modest attire without forgoing style by selecting a dramatic black dress with fanned-out sleeves and a cutout back, gold ankle pumps, and an eye-catching floral bag.

Outdoor Wedding

Pansy silk dress, Preen by Thornton Bregazzi ($2,882); Knot clutch, Bottega Veneta ($1,550); Rockstud leather sandals T.60, Valentino ($1,045). fwrd.com

When the venue is outdoors, a main concern is balancing elegance with practicality. To achieve both, opt for a bright sleeveless dress like this silk frock from Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, a champagne-colored clutch, and chunky-heeled sandals, which will prevent you from getting stuck in the ground.
